BruinCard

The UCLA BruinCard is a mandatory campuswide identification card that can electronically confirm student status and eligibility for services. Supportive photo identification—such as a driver’s license or state ID, passport, or military ID—is required when the card is issued.

The primary BruinCard benefit is convenience. It is a versa-tile card that serves the following functions: confirmation of student status; ID card for faculty, staff, and students; residence hall access and meal card; laundry, library, and recreation card; debit card (if activated) for purchases at campus stores and restaurants on and off campus; and discounted access to Santa Monica and Culver City bus lines.

Students with an outstanding financial, academic, or administrative hold may not receive BruinCard services until the hold is released by the initiating office. Information on outstanding holds and initiating offices is available on MyUCLA.

The BruinCard center is located in 123 Kerckhoff Hall. See BruinCard to check account balance, make deposits, view recent transactions, and report lost or stolen cards.

Central Ticket Office

Tickets for UCLA events are available at the Central Ticket Office (CTO) in the James West Alumni Center. As part of its service, the CTO offers students with current BruinCards discount tickets to campus athletic and cultural events and local movies. Students may also purchase tickets to off-campus events through Ticketmaster, as well as student discount tickets for Los Angeles-area buses.

Post Offices

Campus mail is handled by UCLA Mail, Document, and Distribution Services (MDDS), which offers full-service document processing and delivery for the campus community.

ASUCLA operates a U.S. Postal Service express post office on A Level in Ackerman Union. MDDS operates a U.S. Postal Service contract post office in Wilshire Center off campus.
